10:00 → 10:15 subMIT Overview, Status, & Updates

Speaker: David Walter

10:15 → 10:35 Computing Calabi-Yau Manifolds

String theory is becoming computational! Recent progress on explicitly constructing interesting solutions to string theory has been directly enabled by large-scale computation. In this talk I will go over some of the tools and challenges of computational string theory, focusing on the role played by Calabi-Yau manifolds. In particular, I will talk about the purpose-built software CYTools and how it can be used on subMIT.

Speaker: Richard Nally (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)

10:35 → 10:45 Roundtable

Speakers: Amer Al-Hiyasat (MIT), Hans Moritz Guenther (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), Molly Park (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), Prajwal Mohan Murthy (MIT LNS), Yin Lin (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
